They know that? So they are certain it will happen? I’d love to see how often someone calls 911 and then ends up the victim of police violence.

The haste with which people want to simplify and simplify some more, to promote an oversimplified narrative—and when—is dizzying as much as it is disappointing.
I find it surprising that there have not been threads started on Trump’s impact on these events.
The police as a whole, huh? So stigmatizing and stereotyping the black community due to the actions of some is wrong, but doing so with the Cops is acceptable. God, the hypocrisy and double standards are unbelievable.
For him you say without a doubt there are neighborhoods that would welcome it if the police left their neighborhoods is ridiculous. Are there people in neighborhoods that would be fine with it? Sure. The entire neighborhood? Highly doubtful. He’s forgetting the grownups in those neighborhoods.
No, not all police. I should have been more specific.
I was referring to the ones that abuse their authority. And, all those who protect them.
Okay, Rudy. You've really dug your heels in on this one. What do you believe is the appropriate response from the general public then?
Put it to a vote and there would be plenty of neighborhoods who don’t want the police around.
Agree to disagree. Split, yes. Entire neighborhoods, no
this happened in 2016 with Ferguson and then the shooting of Dallas cops and this helped get Trump elected
Where are the professional athletes condemning these actions? They want to immerse themselves as fighters for social justice, but don’t want to get involved in policing their own people and trying to encourage civil discourse and action.
Trump was the right's answer to 8 years of condescending snark from Barack Obama. Obama lowered the standards for the US president being respectful to those who might not agree with him. Trump has removed the standards.
Bullshit.
Both W and Obama were about as magnanimous as it gets. Trump established this precedent. Period.
In my opinion in the current environment:
"Good" cops will become more likely to leave the force
People that would make good cops will be less likely to apply
The personalities that will be drawn to the job are the types who will abuse their authority. Thus continuing our circling of the drain

And white won't give 2 shits about them getting shot back.
Btw don't say minorities...just say black
Criminals come in all colors sexes religions etc....let's just nuke the whole world. None of us deserve to live
No.
Are you dumb enough to think most whites will let random black folks just start assasinating cops and then feel sorry for them when a few get shot?
Be honest
Many contributing factors but the hysterical Left and their media fanning the flames of the anti police movement is significant.
. Indeed
Not just leave, but not join. We want better cops so let's start harassing and shooting current ones!!
I tell you, too many morons on both sides
.Social injustice??? Lmfao. Them making more off their jerseys and shoes than the chinese slaves...no biggie
Most will just watch on TV. Or, just see on the news. Won’t make a bit of difference on the street where these confrontations play out.
People can only take so much abuse before they decide to fight back.
Would you agree the police beating and killing innocent unarmed people, might be a more significant factor?
Cops are people.
Go ahead allow the cycle to ramp up then. We'll see what happens. Your silence makes you just as guilty as the cop killers or so I'm told
I take it you disagree with the WSJ but can’t quite find the words to express yourself. Maybe that‘s a sign you should sleep on it. It could be progress knocking at your door.

It is ramping up. You are seeing what happens.
There are more of us than them.
On the rare occasion it happens, like Mr Floyd, yes it’s a significant factor...more significant? Probably not.
So you’re against the police. Or are you for police reform and end the violence, on both sides?
I’m against bad police that abuse their power. And, those who help them cover it up and continue.
I’m for serious police reform and demilitarization and less violence and guns in society.

W, Bill C, and Sr magnanimous? Absolutely. Obama, not so much. There were people on his OWN SIDE who criticized his condescending tone when communicating disagreement. He was worse with those he routinely disagreed with. A google search will yield you scores of articles from left and right sources criticizing Obama for his condescending, patronizing and contemptuous attitude towards those he did not agree with.
Trump has taken it to a new level, no doubt.
